Which walls to paint because of odd shaped ceilings? Color choice?

5 years ago

Howdy!


I'm working on my daughters room. It's currently a tan color all around.


I would like to do an accent wall- but because i have an angled ceiling and corner window it is giving me a challenge of where to stop painting.


Here is the existing room.












My mom is suggesting that I paint the wall the crib is on, and the angled wall with the window, and the wall with the window on it. Stopping before the wall with the closet, and following the weird ceiling.


Here are my inspirations so far.








I am leaning towards the green one, with the accents from the blue room. (I live in Texas with no earthquakes, and if I decide to mount something about the crib - It will be secured properly, and the crib moved to about 4-6 inches off the wall.)


I own the crib, a rocking chair similar, and I found this cute table I just fell in love with.





Any guidance is appreciated.

    IMO tan is boring color for a childs room sso maybe just think about a color for the whole space like a soft green or blue then instead of a feature wall do some fun art maybe even some removable decals that are child friendly. The table really makes no sense in the space . Right now the chest is okay but not once the baby is a toddler unless the hinges are made to not close without a lot of strength. I think it is too early to choose wall color get the bedding for the crib and use the colors from it for other colors in the space . Remember this is a childs room and can be quite a lot of fun to do.

    I don't care for the tan either. I like the naturalness of it in the rest of my house (but maybe wouldn't reselect the same shade when we repaint). The whole room needs to be repainted- so I was going to pick another neutral for where the tan is.


    If I do paint the entire room-- do I paint the ceilings the same color? Or do I do a traditional white ceiling?


    I wouldn't mind the entire room being a color instead of an accent wall- but the colors I really like are dark or at the very least saturated. Which doesn't play well for the entire room.


    My favorite color is green - and all the inspiration I see online is minty or pastel.


    I agree a kids room can be fun - and I would like to have her room be beautiful and special-- but not like a unicorn puked on it :D


    Thanks. My "design" definitely doesn't scream child- and I'm not a huge decorator- I know what I like but have trouble putting things together.



    For the chest- it's a family chest. right now it's lid is very heavy and is just hinged. My husband recalls many times smashing his fingers. We are going to be fixing a leg on it, and adding easy open / soft close hinges before shes able to open it. We are planning on using it as a low shelf instead of a chest she will regularly access.



    Bummer for the table. I just love it and think it's the sweetest. My mom also mentioned it may be a hazard as there is no way to secure it, so it may just have to wait until she is older.


    Her sheets are white, and once she is in her crib (still in bassinet for another few weeks) she has a very light pink sleep sack. So no "bedding" just yet.



    Here is an example of a color I really adore. But my home has no detail like this and it reads a little stuffy even for me. I'm definitely Transitional leaning traditional.





    Appreciate the guidance! You have me thinking!

    Green ceiling, include slant over window wall. Could add moulding where ceiling/wall meets

    Neutral Wallpaper, include slant and paint ceiling background color in paper

    Green walls blue ceiling/include slant

    Add traditional paper on crib wall only
